Ancient Egyptian furniture in context: from ancient production, preservation to modern-day reconstruction and conservationPepler-Harcombe, Aletta Maria 02 1900 (has links)
The dissertation investigates the ancient Egyptian furniture industry, from ancient production
and preservation, to modern-day reconstruction and conservation. The main focus of the
dissertation falls on an in-depth investigation of styles and designs that can be viewed as
characteristic/diagnostic of ancient Egyptian furniture. Emphasis falls on the evolution of
functional and decorative elements and the development of individual items. Key design
markers are identified and the developments of certain styles are traced. In-depth
discussions reveal the finer structural and design elements of individual items along a
chronological time frame. These include beds, stools, chairs, footrests, couches, mattresses
and cushions, boxes and chests, tables, bed canopies and screens.
Introductory chapters provide the reader with background information relevant to the
furniture industry, including tree species and timber properties, trade and import, tools,
technologies and production methods, while the final chapter investigates the possible
applications of modern technology for assessment, conservation and reconstructive
purposes. / Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies / M.A. (Ancient Near eastern Studies)
